Is Your Application Delivery Strategy Costing You More Than You Realise?
Enterprises are only as effective as the IT teams that back them. With every software release, you're not just moving a product forward; you're safeguarding your business's future. The spotlight is on you, senior IT leaders, to ensure your testing strategy doesn't just tick boxes but actually propels your organisation forward.
The Challenge with Application Delivery
The reliance on technology for operational excellence is indisputable. However, the Achilles' heel often lies in insufficient testing regimes. These can introduce bottlenecks that stall innovation and slow the realisation of potential opportunities. Inadequate testing not only risks the introduction of regressions but can also fail to meet new business demands, leaving your enterprise vulnerable.
Why Quality Ownership Matters
Outsourcing the mechanics of testing doesn't absolve you of ownership over quality. In fact, it's crucial for organisations to take the reins of their testing strategy. Understanding the three types of tests—mandatory regulatory tests such as payment certifications, new feature evaluations, and critical regression tests—is essential. Each one plays a pivotal role in ensuring your application performs as expected without deprecating existing functionalities.
Strategic Testing is Key
It's not just about performing tests; it's about performing the right tests. Engaging in unnecessary or ineffective testing wastes valuable time and resources without enhancing the quality or reliability of your application. Instead, focus on strategically executing tests that directly contribute to your business goals.
Real-World Example
Consider a financial services company that recently streamlined its testing strategy by focusing on core business functionalities and regulatory requirements. By eliminating redundant testing processes and adopting a more strategic approach, they accelerated their release cycles and improved overall application performance. The result? Faster time-to-market for new features and a more agile response to market demands.
